This invention relates to safety razors, and particularly to the cutting member or element thereof.

The invention will be fully and compreheusively understood from a consideration of the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings which form part of the application, with the understanding. however, that the improvement is capable of extended application and is notconfined to the exact showing of the drawings" norto the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications may be made therefrom as do not affect thespirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claim.

In the drawings:

, Fig. 1 is an elevational view, artly in section, of a safety razor embo ying my invention. a

Fig. 2 is a plan viewof the razor shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is an end view of the razor, partly in section; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of thecutting member or element of the razor.

Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description thereof, the cutting memher 5,

comprises a block of steel, which is substanwhich 1s perspectively shown in Fig. '4,

through the cutting member 5 and is threaded at its lower end as indicated by the numeral 23. The cap 21 rests on the plate 8 and is narrower than the same, as clearly' shown in Fig. 3. The blade 11 rests on the 55 guard 25, which is wider than the blades 8 and 11, and which prevents the blade 11' from cutting. It will be understood or course that the member 5 ma be inverted so that what has been referre to as the upper blade 8 may be the lower blade- 8. A handle 27 is screw threaded to the lower end portion of the projection 22 and presses the guard 25 up against the lower face of the cutting member 5, said guard being provided with apertures through which extend the mentioned projections 20 and the projection 22.

. What is claimed as. new is:

A cutting member for a razor, said member comprising an integral block having grooves ormed in its sides to provide razor edges at both sides of the top and the bottom of the block.

tially I-shaped in cross-section, with cutting 7 edges 6 and 7 at the sides of the top 8 and with cutting edges 9- and 10 at the sides of' the bottom 11. The top 8 and the bottom 11 are preferably rigid and may be regarded respectively as upper and lower blades connected by a rigid web 12. The cutting memher 5 ma also be regarded as a block having .apair o vertically spaced cutting edges at both sides thereof, or it may be regarded as an oblong block having hyperbolic grooves 15 and 16 cut lengthwise in the sides thereof to form the upper blade! and the lower blade 11. The member 5 is provided with apertures 18 and with anaperture 19 therebetween, the apertures. 18 being adapted to accommodate projections 20, which depend from a cap 21, while the aperture 19 accommodates a projection 22, which passes-
